Candice leaving WWE? Hogan/Goldberg II?

It was announced in the Tokyo Fishwrap that Japan international bankers have decided to open yet another Japanese wrestling promotion: Falcon #1 Professional Wrestling.

Falcon #1 Wrestling will have its first pay-per-view on July 19, 2009. The main event will pit Hulk Hogan against Bill Goldberg in what the event promoters have dubbed "The Rematch Of The Century." Banker Felix Yoshihima has also promised to bring in other big-name stars from the "old WWF and WCW" for the show. Current names being tossed around the rumor mill include UFC's Brock Lesnar, Bob Sapp, Kimbo Slice, Kurt Angle, and/or Kevin Nash.

More details to come as they become available.

Candice Michelle's WWE contract expires this October. Normally the company likes to re-sign talent a year before their current deal is set to expire. Michelle has admitted that she may go into acting or modeling full-time once her deal is through.

About Me

I've been a writer for nine years and a wrestling fan for over two decades. I previously wrote a wrestling column for the Web site 411mania.com. I auditioned for WrestleCrap.com as well, but was ultimately rejected. You know, when you aren't considered good enough for a site with "crap" in the title, it's probably time to hang up your pen. My limited experience in the actual wrestling business includes advertising for the Buffalo Wrestling Federation, and an attempt to promote my own wrestling show. I'll be posting more information about all of this in my blog in the coming weeks, so I hope you'll all come back to read about it.
